Work to revive Gold Ridge reportedly progressing
Quoting the Solomon Star newspaper � 8 March 2018
�Mining Ltd in Central Guadalcanal is progressing well.
�That�s according to Minister for Mines, Energy & Rural Electrification Bradley Tovosia.
�Mr Tovosia updated parliament on the work to reopen Gold Ridge Mining when he was questioned by Member of Parliament (MP) for Aoke-Langalanga Matthew Wale on Tuesday.
�Mr Wale asked the minister to inform parliament on the progress on resuming mining operation at Gold Ridge.
�Mr Tovosia said the current progress is that a local landowner company known as Gold Ridge Community Investment Limited (GCIL) took over from St Barbra by purchasing it for AUS$100.
�However, the minister said the risk they took is to deal with the tailings dam, which is beyond their financial control.
�But the minister said a Chinese owned Australian company was engaged and they have started to clean up, with machines shifted to the site.
�So I say work is progressing good at the moment,� Mr Tovosia stated.�
